A handful of new companies have emerged that provide namespaces as a service to projects and individuals, and I think there are enough of them now to call it an exciting new trend!

✳️ Multi-chain Domains ✳️
Our gas-efficient, L2-native registry system is based on
@ensdomains
and put on steroids with
@Chainlink
CCIP.
This enables cross-chain registration, management, and resolution of domains from 𝘢𝘯𝘺 chain and with 𝘢𝘯𝘺 respective gas token.

To achieve all of this, we address Web3's biggest UX issues on many layers.
We are unifying our solutions under the new term: 𝗦𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗗𝗼𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘀.
Let's walk through it…

This is how we imagine the perfect onboarding flow for new users entering Web3:
1️⃣. Pick an on-chain username.
2️⃣. Scan your face or finger.
3️⃣. Ready! 💥
No one should bother about account complexities like public/private key management, multi-chain complexities, or gas.
"ENS names on L2 with decentralized verification (ie. merkle proofs into state) via CCIP"
This is part of our upcoming smart wallet-enabled subnamespaces on L2.
Soon, every new user in web3 will be onboarded via ENS. 🫡

✳️ Smart Wallets ✳️
Within one single click, we deploy AA wallets, register a multi-chain domain, and configure it with all counterfactual multi-network addresses (ENSIP-11).
We are using

's amazing infra to unlock all the power Account Abstraction brings us.

✳️ On-Chain Domains ✳️
New users entering crypto shouldn't bother with long alphanumeric wallet addresses anymore.
Nobody remembers them, they are facilitating address poisoning attacks, and more.
And with AA wallets, managing multi-network addresses gets even trickier.

✳️ Passkeys ✳️
Users 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗻𝗼𝘁 bother about seed phrases.
With the new Passkey technology, your shiny new AA wallet is just a FaceID scan away.
We are using
@turnkeyhq
to enable this today, and are looking into on-chain signing when EIP-7212 is implemented.

👥 We're building a Smart Domain Registry & AA Protocol for every Web3 game, app, and wallet.
⛓️ We're becoming fully ENS-native with CCIP Read and L2-based Subname Registry to leverage
